TERRORISM IN INDIA

“Terrorism is a horrible thing that is the great threat to civilization on our planet”.

Terrorism means the homicide of the usual people for their own sake. Many scholars defined the terrorism in their own word and Yonah Ahmad is one of them who defined terrorism as, “The use of threat of violence against random or civilian targets in order to intimidate or create generalized persistent fear for the purpose of achieving political goals”.

Terrorism found in India includes Ethno-nationalist terrorism, Religious terrorism, Left Wing terrorism and Narco-terrorism. Ethno-nationalist terrorism focuses on creating a separate state within India. Religious terrorism focuses on the religious imperatives and the dreadful attack of Mumbai 26 Nov 2008 from an Islamic group in Pakistan comes under religion terrorism. Left Wing terrorism focuses on economic ideology. Maoist cruelty in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh is the example of it. Narco terrorism focuses on creating unlawful narcotic traffic zones. Brutality in North West India

comes under narco terrorism. If we look at the 8^th report on terrorism in India which was published in 2008 defined terrorism as the peacetime equivalent of war crime.            

Jammu and Kashmir, East-Central and South Central India and Seven Sister States i.e., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura are the regions with long term terrorist activities.

Nation Security Advisor on August 2008 said that there are more than 800 terrorist cells or sleeping agents operating in the country.

According to the State Department of the Security 11098 people were died in the terrorist attack worldwide and 231 civilians were died in India in 2012. If we noticed the terror attack survey of India from 1975 to 2016, there are 9982 incidents in which 18842 people were died and 28814 injuries. There are many incidents which are heart shacking attacks like Mumbai 26/11, Amarnath Yatra Attack, Sunjuwan Attack, Sukma Attack and Pulwama Attack.
 Amarnath Yatra attack is that attack which was executed by Abu Ismail, Yawar Bashir, Furqan and Maawiya on 10 July 2017 in which 8 Hindu civilians were dead and 18 were injured in the mass shooting.

Sunjuwan attack is a terrible attack like the Uri attack 2016. It was planned and executed by the commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad in which 11 soldiers were dead in the Army Camp of Sunjuwan. The master mind of this attack Mufti Waqas was killed in an army operation on 5 March 2018 in South Kashmir.

Sukma Attack was executed on 13 March 2018 in which 9 CRPF personnel were killed and 6 other people were injured when Maoists blew up a mine-protected vehicle with an IED in Sukma district, Chhattisgarh.

Pulwama Attack is a heart shaking incident took place in Pulwama on 14^th February 2019 when a convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel was attacked by a vehicle borne suicide bomber. It resulted in the death of 40 CRPF (Central Rural Police Force personnel) soldiers. It was claimed that the attackers were from the Islamist militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad. This incident had changed many relationships between India and Pakistan even the Supreme had made a special bench to discuss whether India will play World Cup with Pakistan or not?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi fated the attack and expressed solidarity with the victims and their family and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured that a strong response will be given to the terror attack whereas the Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that India would completely isolate Pakistan in the diplomatic country.

Terrorism is not just harming the country but it also hurting the emotions of the people. Some people connected terrorism with Islamism whereas a terrorist don’t have any religion because, “The purpose of religion is to control you, not to criticize others.”
